Default caster bolts?

Hey guys so i stupidly didnt mark where the lines were at on the caster bolts when i dropped my lower control arms from the axle. Is that going to have any affect on the alignment of the truck?

You will have to take it in and get it aligned. Grab the specs from Geno's Garage, and have it set to those.

Those bolts adjust the caster, so, if they are not in the right spot, you will be out of spec...... Take it in, and get an alignment. Use the specs mentioned above. You will be much happier for it.
